Stock/brace ID? On a mac 11 style pistol and seems to have a sling attached

Saw this on a recent random YT vertical live stream. Snapped a screenshot before live ended and video is private. Any ideas what this stock/brace is and where I could buy it?

Seeking Guidance on Transporting AR Pistol in Tennessee

Hello everyone,

I’m a Tennessee resident aiming to comply with state firearm laws. I own an AR pistol and want to ensure I’m transporting it legally in my vehicle. Specifically, is it permissible to carry my AR pistol in the vehicle’s cab if it’s locked up with the ammunition stored separately? Alternatively, what is the recommended method for transporting it?

Additionally, I understand that Tennessee is an open carry state and does not require a permit for concealed carry. Could someone confirm if this is accurate?

Thank you for your assistance.

Browning X-bolt Polar open sights question

I am looking at the Browning X-bolt stainless Polar. It is delivered with open/iron sights and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with those. Is it possible to adjust them for both windage AND elevation? I have to order online, so it would be nice to know beforehand..

Link to the norwegian website for the rifle, was not able to find it on browning.com.

Transporting Firearms - How do you do it?

Just curious on what all people do? I know from the law perspective, what looks like a gun can give LE a right to search. Does anyone do anything different where it's not so noticeable? Maybe have a different type of case that looks like something else?

New to Me: Vintage S&W Model 64 – Looking for Info & History!

https://imgur.com/a/model-64-MzM8ZnW

I was gifted an older Smith & Wesson Model 64, and I’m trying to learn more about its history and production details. I’ve had some trouble finding information on the early 64 models and what came before them.

From what I’ve gathered, it was likely produced around 1973, but I’d love to hear any insights from those more knowledgeable! The serial number starts with D6002—any details on its production date, variations, or unique features would be greatly appreciated.

I won a giveaway...

I got an email about a monthly giveaway I won from a LGS out of state.. I am in Texas so they will need to ship to my FFL from out of state...

Has anyone won any giveaways like this? Do you think I will need to pay the shipping or taxes? Or .. will it just be my part at my own LGS? That's only $25...but..that seems too good to be true.... Or... Is that how it usually works?.... I have never won anything so this is all new to me... Lol

Thanks!

Can an individual get a grant to purchase a firearm?

Can people apply for something like a merit-based or need-based award/honor where if you win--because, for example, you are an accomplished but low-income person with a particular interest/need to own a firearm--you get funding to buy your first firearm?

I searched the internet and could not find one. I know sometimes there are things like chance-based raffles, but is there anything else (similar to a scholarship)?

Gun license and low range PCA

Hey guys I was wondering if I could possibly apply for a gun license NSW, at a club, I have recently been convicted of a low range PCA while driving (low range drink driving) in nsw, would this affect my ability to get a license. No aggressiveness to police or what so so not and it's my first recorded offense for low range, I was let off 2 years ago for the same thing with a court good behavior bond for 1 year with no conviction but now have one

Would i be able to conceal carry a S&W500?

Im not saying at all that i would do so, i just want to know the legality of conceal carrying one due to its immense power and enormous chance of shooting through the intended recipient and damaging property or even worse harming another civilian.

Locktite or NO?

Ruger American gen 2. I noticed my pic rail was lose on my gun never checked when I first got the gun and put the scope on. Took everything off and 2/4 screws were not even close to tight got everything screwed back and torqued to spec around 25lb on the base I read that’s it recommend not to use LT on base rails if you torque properly. What’s y’all’s opinions should I take it back if and use some LT?

Pistol Braced Carbine, what caliber?

So, been looking into PCC's, mainly in 9mm, but no I am considering a .556 or 300 Black Out. I kind of like 9mm because if the cost of ammo, but I am not opposed to 556. 300 Black out seems gtg also especially if you want to suppress.

I would love to hear from you all that run one or the other of these. Don't be shy about posting pics of you want as well.
